The baby back ribs were pretty good. It was juicy and flavorful. I also liked the creamed corn . My husband had the fried chicken and waffle and he said the chicken was delish.

???? Brick Chicken - so juicy???? Smokehouse Chili - really good???? Baby Back Ribs???? Creamed Corn ???? Brisket(lean) - a bit dry???? Mac n Cheese???? Roasted Garlic Mashed Potato - decent

Jaime Castillo

Try their pulled pork nachos--hands down, the best freakin' nachos you will ever have. And don't forget to order a Bloody Mary to wash them nachos down. You will not leave this place unsatisfied.

Jennifer Plummer

Great BBQ , amazing fried chicken , the braised southern greens are addictive, and the blackberry cobbler is fantastic if you still have room. We've never eaten anything we didn't like.

Darius L

So good! Baby back rib sammy. Wifey got combo plate with fried chicken (they take the bone out), sausage and beer braised brisket . Everything was so good. The mac and cheese side dish was avg.

Jenna Recupero

Pulled pork sandwich is amazing. Mix the program and spicy BBQ sauces on the table for an out of this world bite. YUM. Service is fantastic.

Natalie Moreno

Gus's Famous burger with a side of sweet potato fries cannot be missed. Oh, and don't forget to wash it down with a glass of Southern Sangria .

Adam Ashley

Breakfast , lunch , and dinner are all amazing here. The BBQ is amazing. Ir may be the only restaurant in SoCal that serves REAL southern sweet tea .

Alex W

Great BBQ ! Make sure to get a rib and two meat or chicken and two meat combo. Their sauce is one the best I've had outside of my fav mom and pop BBQ restaurant .

Rayshawn Williams

The Brisket burnt ends burger is one delicious mess...and by mess I mean you'll need lots of napkins. Taste so good!

Gary Pia

All-around great comfort food . I particularly enjoy their Pulled Pork Tostada . The Shredded Onion Strings and Cornbread rock, too.

Arne Knudsen

I love gus's bar b que everything on there menu has been top notch and consistent although today I had there cheddar grits not so good but nothing could stop me fro coming back to gus's every weekend

Hilary Cable

For just a taste of the great barbecue here, try the chicken sandwich . Comes with one side. Add sauce to taste from the containers on your table. Just enough, not too much. Manager Cali is wonderful!

Omar Patel

Alright, get the pulled pork nachos , the St. Louis Ribs , and the sausage . Definitely worth the money.

Brian Toth

The jalepeno jelly that comes with the cornbread is an excuse to get it- a must order! Cocktail list great, and fried chicken amazing

eric bornemann

Pretty good BBQ and ribs for the area. Worth making a reservation so you don’t have to wait.

Jones

Cornbread is excellent, beef brisket is amazing. For sides I like the mashed potato and baked beans

Sylvia Gonzales

The Picnic Dinner was delicious enough feed two❤ ribs chicken brisket so goood!

Nancy Frias

One of our favorite places. But it's our anniversary and they stuck us at small table right behind counter near where the are cooking. So noisy we can't even talk to each other wo yelling.

Brandon Rich

Everything is so good here. Def work the price. A bit pricey but worth it. Can't wait to come back and try something new :)

Abi Panicker

Great drinks, good food, met bartender Theo and manager Chris that made us feel very welcome, worth going

Abbey Keck

Get the deviled eggs , and get the BBQ Brisket tacos , but substitute BBQ chicken for the brisket .

Adam Goldfaden

Definitely give the Memphis style baby backs a try. They're probably some of the best ribs on the west coast! And who could say no to a plate of BBQ pork nachos ?

Joe Acindra

Excellent Ribs . I have tried their burger also, it is awesome. It costs almost $10 but you will not go hungry. The ribs have that authentic smokey flavor that I love.

Jason

A South Pasadena institution; you have to try the BBQ chicken as it's the tenderest, tastiest I've had in a long time.

Racin Saubel

The food is amazing. Every time I eat here a piece of me dies and goes to heaven.

Kathy Diaz

Carolina Pulled Pork and St Louis Ribs . Ah-mazing! Creamed corn is bomb too! When I dined here, my brother-in-law ordered their Chicken & Waffles and he said it was so much better than Roscoe's.

Abdullah

The Texas style beef brisket is a must ????

Paul Chang

Pulled pork nachos . Brisket . St. Louis ribs . Mac & cheese . Corn bread . Slaw .

The Chocolate Brownie is not bad at all. Right Omar?

If here on a Saturday or Sunday, get the chicken n waffles . So damn good! Skip the chicken fried steak , not very good.

Daniel Landerman

I'm a Gus's pro! Perfect mint Julep ! Best chicken and waffles ever. BBQ brick chicken is second to none! GET IT!

Bret Runyan

Great service!! Not sure about other experiences, but have been here twice and had amazing service both times. A++

Pulled pork nachos and jalapeño cucumber margaritas are the best items to help kick off a weekend.

Tristam B

one of the few places in South Pas open after 9pm. This is such a party town !

Cat Vega Hernlund

Excellent customer service, delicious food and fresh lemonade .

Ramsey Elsayed

It's a good place but everything went wrong unfortunately! Table was tilting, ran out of brisket , no refills, no substitutions in the menu. Manager is really nice but I just didnt like the experience.

RudeRudy Caballero

Came here for years... Now waiters are fucked up snobs who expect tips for great service opposed to offering great service to earn their tips...

Hardy LeBel

PULLED PORK SANDWICH . I've had barbque all over this fair country and this was the best pulled pork I ever had.
